The funding process for grants
Here’s how funding through Trust Horizon works.
Step 1:
Apply
When we receive your online application, we’ll carry out an initial assessment and contact you if any extra information is needed before moving to the review stage.
Step 2:
Review
The Trust will carry out any administration and processing work needed to make sure all the relevant information has been provided. At least two comparable, up-to-date quotes will be needed for each energy-related part of the project. If you are working with a very specialist equipment supplier, contact the Trust Office to confirm quote requirements for your application. When the application assessment is finished, it’ll be presented to the Trustees for consideration at the next Trust meeting.
Step 3:
Approval
After the Trust meeting, you’ll be notified in writing of the outcome of your application. Keep in mind that approval depends on the funds available at the time.
Step 4:
Check-ins
We’ll be checking in regularly for updates on progress once the project is underway.
Step 5:
Completion and Payment
When your supplier invoices are available for work completed, an online Uplift of Funds form will be filled out and submitted. Part-payments are available to assist with larger projects as stages of work or equipment supply are completed.
Check eligibility
If you haven't already confirmed your eligibility, read through the Trust's Funding Policy to check your project meets our funding criteria.
